This is the second time I've written a review regarding this school. Not only was the school unsupportive of teachers bullying students they also have students regularly bullying each other. When brought to the attention of the assistant principal nothing was addressed. The soccer coach selected kids with no previous experience that regularly hung out in his study halls rather than kids with actual skills. The administration did nothing to address that either. Their breakfasts and lunches are minimal and worse than mine in grade school. My child is regularly bored in his classes and hates school thanks to this middle school. The school posted on their public social media page an art project with a swastika on it. When called out they defended the child that did it and said a Google search pulled it up as a representation of the USA. I don't recommend this school or this district for many reasons, these are just a few.

We are recent transplants from the West Coast and I must say this school has been amazing, especially considering Covid 19 and the many challenges faced by schools over the past year. The teachers at this school truly care about the students and the communication is incredible! I lived in a great neighborhood in our last area and the school system was pretty bad. My child was accepted to a charter school and it was still horrible. No communication at all and they did not care about the students or the parents at all and this is the complete opposite. Mrs. Simmons is awesome and gets any questions you may have answered and resolved very quickly. The VP even called me (father) personally to introduce herself and let me know my daughter was missing one single assignment!! I seriously couldnt believe it.. Since enrolling at this school my daughter has flourished and shes excited about learning again! This school is on par with expensive private schools in other cities. The sports program seems very well organized and fun!! Every single person from the front desk all the way up to the Principal seems to take a great amount of pride in giving a true education to the kids. I was surprised to hear my daughter talking about some of the things they are learning at the 7th grade level and if this is indicative of the Dare County School System I have absolutely no doubt that she will be well prepared to attend a good University with a great success! If youre questioning the school here in relation to a proposed relocation, dont worry at all. They made or transition from across the country a very nice experience. They are doing an amazing job here and Im proud to have a student at this school! Go Braves!!!
